    In today's lesson we are urged to recognize the folly of human wisdom and to embrace the wisdom of the gospel.

    Scripture Today we continue studying The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians in a series I am calling Challenges Christians Face.

    The Truth About Truth

    It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).

    Opening illustration: When Harvard University was founded, its motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae —“Truth for Christ and the Church.” Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned ...read more

    Wisdom is the God given ability to apply God's truth to our daily living in obedience. If we are truly wise we will live Godly lives

    Intro: Remember what we have learned about the Corinthians. They were arrogant and prideful. They tucked their thumbs under their suspenders and bragged about things they had no control over. Who baptized them, what their gifts were. We must always remember that as Paul said in 1 Corinthians ...read more

    What the cross means.

    Introduction We return to our letter this morning. Paul has been addressing the matter of divisions in the church (v. 10).

    Nobody wants to talk about it... it is not Politically Correct... but the wrath of God is REAL!

    THE WRATH OF GOD Romans 1:18-23 Today we are addressing one of those “sore spots” for Christians. The scripture boldly declares… not defends… boldly declares the WRATH OF GOD. Most churches and most Christian run away from it or try to defend it, or explain it away. But if ...read more

    We Preach Christ

    When others deliberately avoid preaching the Lord who planned & made Himself to be the sacrifical Lamb of God, we (as the Apostle Paul) PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED!

    We Preach Christ (1 Corinthians 1:21-24) “…in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. [21] For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; [23] but, we preach Christ ...read more

    The Gospel seems foolish to non-believers but it turns out to be very wise.

    LENT 1 - We preach Christ crucified. This gospel message is both the wisdom of God and also the power of God.

    When it comes to salvation there is no ground on which we can boast. Our only boasting is Jesus Christ, and his sacrifice on the cross.
